Many students in our school go on to law school. We have an excellent pre-law advising program. The Pre-Law Advisors are Dr. Fair, of the Political Science Department, and Professor Roberts of the Department of Philosophy and Religion. Dr. Roberts does herself hold the J.D. (law school degree).

Students in our school have access to pre-med advising. You’d be surprised to know how many students major in Psychology or English and go on to Medical School! The Pre-Med advisor for students with majors in the humanities or social sciences is Dr. Leynes of the Psychology Department.
